Parts of the gun have the appearance of having been polished and reblued. The Eagle L does not look quite like those I have seen and the "banner" was not done with a die but was either hand engraved or pantographed. I can't say Mauser did not do that, but I would think it unlikely, as they must have had "banner" stamps all over the place.

I may be all wet, but I note the bidding has not been exactly lively.

As to the holster, I was under the impression that police used the standard military holster, but I am open to correction as I am not a holster expert. I don't recall one like that, but it could be legitimate. I honestly have no idea what it is.
